While many fire stations across Alabama are faced with firefighter shortages, the Wiregrass Public Safety Center is filling that need locally, one recruit at a time.
One recruit, Kevin King, was inspired to get back into fighting fires after seeing how Dothan goes about business.
“I didn’t see myself doing it again, but Dothan has such an amazing crew with amazing instructors that push you to your limits and make you love this job even more,” said King. For instructors like Webb, it’s a rewarding process. He says it builds lasting relationships and embeds comradery into the industry.
“It’s exciting to see a class graduate, because you saw them when they were individuals and at the end of the class, they are a team,” said Webb. “It leads to selfless service instead of selfish service and they evolve in the class.”A few of them are finishing up EMT courses before going to work fulltime.Subscribe to our
